The present experiment was carried out to assess the degree of association of yield with its components, because yield is not an independent character and it is resultant of interaction of a number of component characters. Correlation provides information on the nature and extent of association between characters in a population. Most of the traits have shown significant correlation as revealed by the association study. Fruit yield per vine had positive and highly significant correlation with average fruit weight(g), vine length(cm), leaf area(cm2 ), fruit length(cm), number of fruits per vine, circumference of fruit(cm), number of female flowers per vine, number of leaves per vine, and internodal length(cm) at both genotypic and phenotypic level. | Studies on character association in cucumber Cucumis sativus L.
